MLB versus Oakland
Check out CBS Sports commentator Damon Amendolara’s short but brutal comment on the state of the Athletics organization and MLB . I love how Brodie (in his usual polite manner) criticizes Fisher on the contradictions in his third and final interview with ESPN. Finally, here Brazil again pointing out MLB’s…

Two Angry A’s Fans and One Polite Brodie Brazil
I used to waste my time on YouTube watching baseball clips from Jomboy and other podcasters with a YouTube channel. These days, I hunt YouTube for the video that makes me hate John Fisher the most. Not good for this old man’s health. If the A’s do move, maybe I…

“The Greatest Scam that Baseball has seen in years”
I haven’t written much lately, and now that this story broke, I am speechless. The team I have loved since I was ten is planning to move to Las Vegas in 2027, and there is no simple reason behind the move. Check out CBS Sports Radio’s Damon Amendolara‘s angry editorial…

When Your Fake Teams do Better Than Your Real One
The regular season is over, and so is the World Series. As an Oakland Athletics fan, my season was over earlier than the final week of the regular season. And being an A’s fan means losing talented players to Free Agency about every two or three seasons. Then, without the…

The Triple: Third Time’s a Charm
